a few quick tips, if you guys have them for me.

So, my curremt goal is to bottle my own hot sauce, I do have a few ideas, and id like some input. I dont have, or have access to a roaster of any kind. Is there another way to do this with a stove/pan?

Second question is, how do fruits work with this sort of thing? I dont want to give me my idea out just yet, but I'm going for a sweet and spicy sort of style.

Last question is, I want it to pour along the lines of tapatio, what would be the best route? Mimd you, not making taste like tapatio, I just want that concistancy.

Thanks in advance.

Yep, if you have a gas range just flip the grate that the pan sits on and put them in there or use your grill.

Yep, use the grill as in grilled Pineapple or Mango, etc...

Last question is, I want it to pour along the lines of tapatio, what would be the best route? Mimd you, not making taste like tapatio, I just want that concistancy.

Just add some carrot or sweet potato to the mix and water/vinegar/lime or lemon juice it to the consistency your looking for. If it gets too thick adjust with water and juice to where you want it but make sure the ph is right.

Thanks in advance.

My answers are below your questions.

Cheers,

For consistency, boil or steam your root veggies a bit before roasting, and blend,blend,blend.
I opted to leave the seeds in my peppers, so it took more than 5 minutes on liquify---adding water/vinegar till it was just right.
Then back in the pan to boil (adding boiling water to it as it evaporated).
 
No friends or family with a bbq grill?
Roasting peppers is a job best left for outside.

Thanks for the responses guys.


As for tge friend and family with a grill, I live about 20 minutes from my parents house, but im usually only ever im that area whem I, working, so I wouldn't have time to.

Ok, then put them under the broiler and roast them there.

As Bill said, heck, put under broiler and go. Since I'm not salt sensitive, I add a touch of salt to anything I want to roast, grill, smoke to bring out sweetness, say roasted, under broiler, pineapple. A little brown sugar and FAR less sea salt brings out sweetness in most fruits that are roasted or grilled.
 
To thicken, to sweeten, Bill mentioned carrots, sweet tater works, as he said, or chayote is great because it can taste bland but does thicken and sets a backdrop for fruit and obviously, the pepper. If you want sweet, use fruit, pineapple, mango, papaya (if you can get good papaya), concentrated orange juice is nice--leave it in concentrate form after thawing, tomatillos IF allowed to ripen are really nice and sweet; also, if not roasted/broiled too hard they thicken a sauce when blendered, but best way to roast those is on cast iron comal, just blister them. Sometimes a little brown sugar or agave nectar or honey . . . you know sweeteners. I prefer lime juice if using fruits for pH, getting it down. If using any spices like allspice, nutmeg, cloves, 5 spice, cardamom, whatever, go easy. Really: spices can make a sauce bitter if not careful.
 
As far as deseeding goes, some like seeds, and sometimes I leave a few in sauce. Jerk paste? Seeds are irrelevant usually, imo, but can try to blender them down OR remove seeds carefully before roasting, leaving placenta/membrane, if you don't have a food mill to run the heated peppers and/or mixture through, which is what I do to remove seeds when I want them gone.
 
Welcome to THP and love to see what you come up with!
Peace!
